those aren't fish hosting anemones.
Possibly temperate species.

Gary, do you know the scientific name or common name?

Those look like the "corallimorphians" or something that were around a while ago...like the "Japanese Chocolate Anemone" thread from a while back.

i was told they were Japenes Bon Anemone

it's difficult to tell from those pics. What size are these things?

The are a form of Corallimorphidae called Pseudocorynactis similar to a mushroom coral. They are found in the Caribbean and pacific oceans with the pacific variants being the more commonly available in the hobby due to their desirable color patterns.
I have one just like it but pink/red. Be careful, they pack a pretty potent sting (comparable to an Haddoni Anemone) and will eat your fish if they get the chance. Clowns are reluctant to host in them. They won't move around like an anemone and are non-photosynthetic. I feed my silversides every few days and it is happy and healthy.

Here is a pic.

My clowns hover around it all day long but never go into the tentacles. They have a very aggressive feeding twitch similar to some of the larger Rhodactis mushrooms. If they feel anything swim by their tentacles they immediately try and engulf it.
